Efficiency Is Key To The Best Ipad Use

By John Jacobs


An iPad is a great gadget. It allows you to sing along, type, record yourself, draw, and even more. However, if you don't have thorough knowledge about an iPad, then you can't completely utilize it. Keep reading for some solid tips about using the iPad that you must know.

There is a way that you can check all the running applications that you have at a given time. Double clicking on your Home button will bring up a bar along the bottom of the screen displaying all of your currently running apps. Just click the app you wish to switch to, if you so desire. Swipe downward on the screen to make the bar disappear.

You will be using VPN networks if you are trying to get in contact with remote servers. This can be activated from the network tab under settings. You will be able to put in a server address and then your user name. If you aren't sure of your server address, contact the network administrator.

Lots of people initially find it difficult to type on a tablet. The iPad does offer a dictation feature, however. Just press home button two times and tap the little microphone you see. Once you've finished with your message, tap the icon once more to have your words converted into text.

Do you use Google calender? Would you like to incorporate it into your iPad calender? In the Mail tab, go to contacts, then calenders. You will see an option that lets you Add An Account. Tap the Other option that comes up. Tap on the CalDAV Account and then just enter the information for Google. Then, back out of your settings app and single-tap your calendar app. Now, you should be ready.

Does tapping the bookmark menu take too much time? You can eliminate this annoyance by turning the bookmarks bar on permanently. Just click on Settings, then Safari, then turn on Always Show the Bookmarks Bar.

Taking care of that expensive new iPad is a very smart strategy. Screen protectors are purchased by many people. The screen is protected from damage by a thin film of plastic. However, it's important that you clean your iPad's screen with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use any harsh cleaning agents to clean your iPad.

It is easy to quickly mute your iPad. The original iPad did not have a simple mute button. When the 4.3 came out they did add the ability to mute using the lock switch to silence the iPad. Hold down the volume-down button to mute your iPad.

If you find yourself in a situation where you must mute sound on your iPad, try this trick. Just depress the volume button for a couple of seconds. This will allow you to get the job done fast and efficiently. To restore your volume, hold down the volume down button again.

There is a quick way to access your apps that are running. Just double-tap the home button, and you will see them on the bottom of the screen. This is a good way to quickly access an app instead of scrolling on your screen to find the apps you need.

If you are almost always connected to the internet in one way or another, then don't overlook the cloud function of the iPad. You can use it to store documents, photos and other information to save on space on your iPad. Store documents that are important on both the iPad and the cloud.

You now know how to use your iPad in a variety of ways. Keep all of these tips in mind and be sure to share them with loved ones who also have their own iPad. Helping others with the knowledge you have also will help yourself.
